No to both. The OTA does not wipe anything, it only updates. However, you will lose root, but you can flash SuperSU or superuser immediately after flashing the OTA to be rooted again.

Trying to flash using the KUT84M.zip in CWM getting error 7

mixer_paths.xml is to blame

I remember boosting the volume of the speaker(s) a while ago, so now I just have to remember what the default value was! :cyclops:

Hello,

If your device is just unlock and root, you will receive the OTA update automatically (it's my setup and I have receive the update yesterday).

After applying OTA update, ouy will need to root again your Nexus device.
[Nexus 5 General] magnusnet:
Thanks for the answer (to the 3 people who answered ^^).

So followup question, just re-rooting the device will not delete my data either?

Thanks again!
[Nexus 5 General] Explosive_Cornflake:
No, you won't lose data. You lost data the first time as you unlocked the bootloader. This is what wipes the device for good reason. Once you have recovery mode you can do what you like. Adding su back just places the binary back in the system.
[Nexus 5 General] crazycaveman:
Thanks for that! It's interesting, since both of those apps are in there... I went through your list and all the apps that were missing or changed on your phone are in my zip. Not sure why they didn't get replaced...
[Nexus 5 General] Explosive_Cornflake:
Your image had replaced some for me. I got past the drive errors, which is odd, as I am heavy user of it, I don't think I uninsulated it. Interesting none the less. Without your package I wouldn't have bothered going any further. I was planning on re-flashing stock today but I have grown too lazy of restoring all my apps. I was pleasantly surprised when Xposed restored all my settings.
[Nexus 5 General] fusion123:
What recovery are u using? CWM or TWRP ? In either or those, once u select Install Zip from SD Card, it will display the file (that you have copied in your phone) and you can select it by pressing the vol down key or if you are using a touch recovery, just touch the file. No need to mention zip anywhere. It should work without a problem. Hope it will lead to you 4.4.3

Cant get into CWM

I was on 4.4.2. Stock, rooted, Clockworkmod recovery. I flashed the 4.4.3 zip from within CWM. It completed, and the phone is fine except when I go to recovery, all I get is the laying down android symbol with the red exclamation symbol. I tried reflashing recovery through Rom Manager, but I get an error. I tried flashing through Fastboot and it says it finished, but I still can't get into recovery. Any ideas?

Bu**er! I've just Flashed it but now I do not have root access and it seems I'm back to stock.

I've re-booted it a couple of times and still no luck!

Tried to re-install Xposed and that didn't work. Tried Titanium and no luck. Tried Super User and no luck. Bu**er! Bu**er! Bu**er!
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
You need to root. Do you have a custom recovery on? If not, flash one in fastboot. Then flash super su in the recovery
[Nexus 5 General] Soulfly3:
ughhh waiting for this OTA update is torture.
[Nexus 5 General] fusion123:
In case you need help to re root, just follow the thread here.

For installing custom recovery all you need to do is connect your phone to your PC and in ADB fire the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" where recovery.img can be replaced with the filename of your recovery file. Don't worry as even I lost my root and recovery after flashing the OTA file since I was on Franco Kernel n something messed up the root. But it takes just couple of minutes to flash recovery and root using SuperSu or you could use CF Auto Root here.

Restarting the OTA

First, thanks to El Daddy and everyone contributing to this post!

I would like to know if it is possible to restart the OTA download after an error has occurred. I used CF Auto Root to get root access only, but I didnt think to remove Xposed....and if possible where is the download located?

Thank you! This actually works for me, I'm in 4.4.3 now! Excellent! Everybody who have the same error needs to do this and will perfectly works. Thanks again.
[Nexus 5 General] UZ7:
For me personally I went this route (theres many routes but this is what I did so to each is their own).

1. Went to Xposed Installer -> Framework -> 'Uninstall' - [Reboot]

2. Used Wug's toolkit and went on Advanced Utilities -> Stock Kernel [Reboot] and just checked that everything is back to stock.

3. Now from here you can go two ways: You can download the update and flash it via recovery then flash supersu to gain root again. Or you can do what I did and after I booted back I just clicked on the google update which pretty much updated everything, removed root and removed my custom recovery.

4. From there I went back to Wug's toolkit and clicked on Root + Custom Recovery which by default settings installed latest TWRP and latest SuperSU. [Reboot]

5. After everything settled I ran Xposed Installer again (don't have to uninstall apk) and went back to Framework -> Install/Update - [Reboot]

6. Fired up FauxClock, downloaded latest 018u (4.4.3) kernel, went to recovery, installed zip, wipe cache/dalvik, reboot.

7. Update Busybox etc..

And everything was back to the same setup I had and getting pretty good battery so far w/ Faux Kernel/Intellidemand etc... I went the lazy route using wug's and not manually doing things because I knew it would work, if not I would have done it manually.

So pretty much I was in the same situation/setup as yours and I wanted to make sure everything was on stock before updating so there would be no reason for the update to stop (example: those who uninstalled stock apks).

Haven't used the phone a lot but pretty much went to the gym for about 2 hours with pandora, its been 7 hours since I unplugged it from the wall and I'm about 92% battery w/o undervolting, just intellidemand.

Good luck! :good:

If I only have a custom recovery and root am I still not able to use the OTA prompt on my device? do I need to download this zip instead?

"/system/bin/surfaceflinger" has unexpected con...

Hi gang-

Trying to install 4.4.3 via TWRP on a "stock" 4.4.2 n5 running supersu and busybox. i used the smart uninstall for busybox and think i made it a bit further, now erroring out with subject message:

"/system/bin/surfaceflinger" has unexpected con...

TWRP cuts off the rest of the output but I'm pretty sure this means there's something else i need to remove?

Please let me know if I've left out a relevant detail or many :)

I searched the thread for surfaceflinger but found nothing, any clues are greatly appreciated!

* Edit: A few minutes of digging around and it looks like the driver for chainfire's awesome lumen app is recommended to uninstall before any firmware updates.

Removed that, and now i'm patching system files. If i don't edit again that was the ticket. Hope this helps someone!
[Nexus 5 General] P_Raposo:
Hi guys.

I just received the OTA on my (rooted + clockworkmod as a recovery) Nexus 5, tried to install it but got this error:

"system/priv-app/systemUI.apk has unexpected contents

status 7"

This is, most likely, because I tried SoftkeyZ once... big mistake.

So, is there any way to get my systemUI to stock and installing the update WITHOUT losing all my data?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Update: Downloading crazycaveman's file.

Update: It works, I could KISS you! Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] TewFast:
Thanks. I was going to pull out the offending files from the previous build. Your zip and script saved me from doing that.

In case it helps others.

I was 4.4.2, Stock, rooted, TWRP recovery, Xposed.

1. Downloaded SuperSU, Check.zip above, and OTA.zip.

2. xPosed App - Uninstall/Disable

3. Reboot Recovery

4. Install Check zip with TWRP

5. Install OTA.zip with TWRP

6. Install SuperSU with TWRP

7. Reboot to System

8. Enable/Install Xposed.

9. Enjoy 4.4.3

BUMP :) ?
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
It's normal to lose root. Just fastboot into a custom recovery and flash super su. Put super su on your phone and a custom recovery image on your pc, in the same folder as fastboot.exe. Then boot into the bootloader. From a command prompt opened in the same folder as fastboot.exe execute the command fastboot boot recovery.img, where recovery.img is the same name as the custom recovery image

Once booted into recovery just install super su

The bootloader re-locked?
[Nexus 5 General] sucro:
Thank for info, i know to root phone, cause rooted it before upgrading 4.4.3. Re-locked = bootloader is locked after upgrade to 4.4.3, before that was unlocked, cause i unlocked it before 2-3 weeeks.
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
If it's locked, that's going to be a problem. Unlocking it will wipe your device
[Nexus 5 General] salomaoa:
I need an important advice from you all.

I’m still using cataclysm ROM, although it’s an outdated ROM and has been discontinued. As you all probably know, Cataclysm is a custom ROM, even if it is very close to stock.

As I’, not using stock ROM, I wasn’t expecting to receive a “system update available” message, as I indeed received!

So now I don’t know what to do. Can I install the system update that I was advised (OTA)? Is it safe? If not, how and why did I get that message if I’m on Cataclysm?

Thank you for your help

[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
It won't hurt your device. It'll simply fail to supply the update. If you want the ota you should flash back to stock
[Nexus 5 General] sucro:
But to be able unlock it, i have to root phone? I unlocked it ago by BootUnlocker app from PlayStore, but to be able use it, i need 1st to root my phone.

So i'll root it, and after try with this app unlock bootloader. Will it wipe my phone, in this scenario, 1st root with CF auto-root, and then using BootUnlocker app, to unlock bootloader?

When you say that will wipe, does it mean, wipe all files from internal memory-pics, etc. , or just installed apps?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
You can't root the phone without unlocking first
[Nexus 5 General] sucro:
I can, but it will wipe all data :), cause of that, i'll try now to unlock bootloader using boot unlocker. Seems bad luck, cause it needs root,

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/themes-apps/app-bootunlocker-nexus-devices-version-t1731993

So, tell me, will rooting my phone wipe all datas = photos, and other pdf, etc. files, or only installed apps?

***EDIT

Found already answer, that unlocking bootloader unfortunately will delete all :( , so have to backup everything, really shi...t made latest update 4.4.3 by Scenario 1 - Section A, and now have to backup everything and to reinstall it :( ...

And Rooting will not wipe internal memory, if bootloader unlocked, so that's why i have firstly unlock bootloader, but however unlocking bootloader will wipe memory :), so anyway there will be wiping memory if not by rooting, before it will be by unlocking bootloader...
[Nexus 5 General] jb0ne:
I just realized that installing 4.4.3 would probably remove the qualcomm optimized driver (and the other one I forget the name of) that many of us put on our phones.

Does anyone know if there is a version of these drivers for 4.4.3? Alternately, do the old ones work on 4.4.3 or is that a Bad Idea?

i'm using the custom kernel, custom recovery, rooted and using xposed framework and the system apps is being delete already。。。

Is it that i have to uninstall the framework and install back the apps only that i can update to 4.4.3?

[Nexus 5 General] fooboo:
Still no ota for me.

I'd like to hear once more, regarding upgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3,

before getting there actually, what exact steps I have to do. Stock,

no root.

I assume I'd get ota notification and I'd accept to download the very

file and install. I also assume I have to reboot in some time in between.

Should I go to bootloader at all?

I hav no doubt it was answered somewhere in this 2000 posts, but

I just cannot find it. The first post does not match my expectation

of the process (and I might be wrong).

Best regards all.
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
Assuming you're on an unmodified 4.4.2 stock install unrooted, you have nothing to do except wait for the OTA notification to kick in and click on it and it'll begin downloading. It rolls out in bunches, other people get it sooner in different regions or areas.
[Nexus 5 General] NektarQuell:
i have the same problem. which driver do i need? i already installed the google adb driver before to fix the "device not found-error" when typing adb reboot recovery. but now it says device not found when trying to update.
[Nexus 5 General] fooboo:
Thank you.

I was afraid I'd have to go into something, not able to search for at that moment.

If it goes by itself, fine with me.

To report, my 4.4.2 works fine, with good battery life for my way of use. 3g makes

problems from time to time. No notification light when I need it. I will say how it

goes with 4.4.3, if someone wants to know.

Best regards.
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
Another thing, to make sure you get a good download its best to download the OTA on WiFi. Some people have been getting update failed either for modifications done to their system or because the download wasn't good. Best of luck. :)

[Nexus 5 General] fooboo:
I will do it by wifi, thanks.

Would I be able to make an upgrade with a phone on a power cord?
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
You should be able to update while connected to the wall charger. But to be safe even though the update is short, it may make you wait until your battery charges to a certain threshold before beginning the update.
[Nexus 5 General] crazycaveman:
The only EMMC error messages would relate to the boot and modem partitions (kernel and radio). Are you running the stock 4.4.2 kernel and radio? You will need to find a way to flash these (either downloading the image and using fastboot to flash them or finding a flashable zip to fix them). Alternatively, you could jump straight to 4.4.3 with jd1639s flashable image, but you'll need fastboot to use it.
[Nexus 5 General] Clems92:
Many thanks for this topic.

I had error during update, so it cant be done on my phone.

I'm using Multirom, rooted, and the original rom is on the main partition.

I downloaded the zip, but I have an error when I try to flash it.

Someone have an idea ?

Thx !
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
You have to be essentially stock for the ota to work. Multi rom probably modified some system files which is the reason it's failing. I don't use multi rom but I'm guessing you're going to have to lose multi rom and start over with it after getting 4.4.3 on your phone. Backup your phone and then fastboot flash the 4.4.3 image files, except for userdata and recovery.

Alternately you could try this which dies the same thing http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53109563

Thanks. I just flashed the stock 4.4.3 image using Google's updater script. Only change I made was to remove the -w parameter to avoid a wipe and I'm up and running on 4.4.3 with all my data preserved.

[MENTION=4844004]Clems92[/MENTION]

Download the factory image from Google and flash it by running the included flash-all.bat file. Make sure you remove the -w parameter included in it to avoid a wipe. You can edit the file in Wordpad on Windows. Best of luck.
[Nexus 5 General] Clems92:
OK I will try.

Via ADB in fastboot?

In fastboot, you need fastboot commands, not adb. They're different

Ok.

I have only to erase the "-w" signs and save ?
